Happy Birthday Karen!
It's OK to feel the way you're feeling. I found myself being overly upbeat sometimes and pretending to be happy, when in fact I just wanted to scream at everyone to get out!

This journey is a day by day trip, no itinerary, we travel a long experiencing the beautiful with the ugly.....take the love and beauty you get out of it and absorb it......use it to get you through.....pull back, release, breathe......
Sending you love and light Karen.
